Answer:
change in the total mass of substances
Description:
<span>"0.0400 mol of H2O2 decomposed into 0.0400 mol of H2O and 0.0200 mol of O2."
This means that a certain amount of H2O2 (0.0400 mol) decomposed or was broken down into two components, 0.04 mol of H2O and 0.02 mol of O2. To examine the system, we need a balanced equation:
H2O2 ---> H2O + 0.5O2
The final concentrations of the system indicates that the system is in equilibrium. </span>
Ions are electrically charged particles formed when atoms lose or gain electrons. They have the same electronic structures as noble gases. Metal atoms form positiveions, while non-metal atoms form negative ions. The strong electrostatic forces of attraction between oppositely charged ions are called ionic bonds.
